“Deep breathing, focus on your breath,” Aaron thought to
himself. His breaths were quick and his pulse raced as he struggled to get his
feelings under control. Campbell stood by, pretending he couldn’t feel that
Aaron was having another freak-out. As more people exited the tram, he quietly
turned to Aaron.
“Are you okay?” Campbell knew it was a dumb question, but he
also knew the response he’d get. Aaron was silent for a moment.
“Yes…” he replied in a strained whisper.
